Play resumes at Bay Hill

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard resumed at 9:58 a.m. ET, which is actually 2 minutes ahead of the originally scheduled restart.

Tiger Woods leads by three with four players -- Keegan Bradley, Ken Duke, John Huh and Rickie Fowler -- all tied for second at the moment.

Five more players are another stroke back at 8 under, including Justin Rose, who is 1 over through his first two holes.

Play set to resume at 10 a.m. ET

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A day after fierce thunderstorms wreaked havoc at Bay Hill, the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard is set to resume at 10 a.m. ET in clear, cool and breezy conditions.

Play was suspended on Sunday just after 2 p.m. due to dangerous weather in the area. About 15 minutes later, the skies opened up and wind gusts reached as high as 60 mph.

The storm lasted 2 1/2 hours and play was eventually called for the day just after 4 p.m. after the course had suffered significant damage and taken on 1 1/2 inches of rain.

There are 43 players who did not finish the round.

Golf Channel will begin its coverage at 10 a.m. PGATOUR.COM's LIVE@ and PGA TOUR SiriusXM coverage will also begin at that time.

This is the sixth tournament this season to be affected by weather and the third to finish a day later than originally scheduled.

When play does resume, Tiger Woods will have a three-stroke lead over Keegan Bradley, Ken Duke, John Huh and Rickie Fowler.

Woods was 1 under on his round after a birdie on the second hole when the horn sounded.

Should Woods go on to win, he would move back to No. 1 in the world for the first time since Oct. 31, 2010. It would also be his eighth title here at Bay Hill, matching Sam Snead as the only players ever to have the same event that many times.

Garcia's shot from a tree

Garcia withdraws mid-round

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Sergio Garcia withdrew after 12 holes in his final round Sunday.

He did not give a reason.

Garcia was 5 over on the day and 3 over for the week after a quadruple-bogey, a double bogey and a bogey to go with two birdies and seven pars.

After playing his first five holes Sunday in even par, Garcia hit two tee shots into the water on the par-5 sixth before eventually reaching the green in 7 and two-putting for a 9.

He bounced back the following hole, however, rolling in a 30-footer for birdie.

On the par-4 10th, Garcia hit his tee shot into a tree, then climbed the tree and hit his second from there. He went on to make double bogey.

 


2:03 PM

Play suspended at Bay Hill

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tiger Woods just extended his lead to three shots with a birdie on the par-3 second hole, but he'll have to wait to keep playing the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard.

Final-round play was suspended at 2:03 p.m. ET on Sunday due to dangerous weather.

Heavy wind, rain and dangerous lightning has moved into the area and a tornado warning has been issued. Players, fans and officials have been evacuated from the golf course.

"The worst, I think is passed," Mark Russell, Vice President of Rules and Competitions for the PGA TOUR, said. "We might have some rain coming, but nothing like we just saw."
